Abstract

A parking mode determining system includes a distance measurer to measure a distance to an obstacle on the side of a host vehicle; a host-vehicle position measurer to measure a position of the host vehicle; a reflected position calculator to calculate a reflected position of the transmission wave; a grouping unit to group a plurality of the reflected positions for each obstacle; an angle calculator to obtain an approximate line for each of two or more of the reflected positions adjacent to each other, and calculate an angle of inclination of the approximate line or an angle of inclination of a normal line of the approximate line; and a parking mode determiner to determine whether a parking mode is parallel parking, perpendicular parking, or angle parking on the basis of a distribution of a plurality of the angles of inclination.
